WASHINGTON, May 14.--Frederick o.
Prince, mayor of Boston and representa-
tive of the Indian Rights association of
New England, to-day had conference
with Secretary Lamar at the latter's re-
quest, upon the question of selecting
proper persons to carry into effect the In

of congress, preparations for which are
now being made as to the Devils Lake,
Sisseton and Siletz reservations in the

cost some suitable person to see that the
law is carried out in the spirit of justice

The Omnipotence of Wealth.

Washington swarms with these curious
social freaks-these queer crosses between
cowboys and grand dukes. mining camp
roughs and bowling swells, Kickapoo squaws
and prima donnas of fashion, barmaids and
princesses royal. California, Nevada and
Colorado have made the senate chamber fa-
mtllar with their astonishing manners and
vernacular The bonanza mines, the spout
ing oil wells, the gigantic railroad rings, the
huge stock gambling corners, and all the
shoddy fortune mills and Doodle factories of
forty seven states and territories have poured
in their plutocratic quotas. Add thousands
of government clerks and clerkesses, young
army and navy officers, attaches of foreign
legations, provincial politicians, office seekers,
rustic bellies, and real or pretended authors
gathering material for books, essays, or dia,
tribes; and you have the great body of the
busy, restless, scheming gossiping rout that
calls itself society in Washington
Its whole life is an endless round of card
poking and free lunching. Calls and visiting
cards fill up the mornings Calls, receptions
and visiting cards crowd the afternoons.
Calls, receptions and visiting cards jam the
evenings and the nights until next morning
of every day. If every day were forty-eight
hours long, and every week held fourteen
days, there would still not be time enough for
all the calls, receptions and visiting cards,
breakfasts, luncheons, dinners and teas, that
constitute ones entire existence, aim and oc-
cupation here. But amid all this mobocratic
maelstrom, amid all this mad whirl of the
odds and ends Of creation, one meets more
genuine celebrities, more deservedly famous
men and women, more renowned statesmen,
soldiers orators and scholars; more rightful
society queens, old and young; more people
worth knowing and remembering, than in
any other city, or all other cities combined,
in the new world.-W Washington Cor. Globe

HOW MILD MANNERS WON

Story of the Discontinue Of a Paris
Duelist-t..Not Bad Idea.''
just at this moment there seems to be
lull in the demand for pistols for two and
coffee for one, but, to supply the omission,
we are new regaled with stories Of famous
duelists under the restoration-a period when
Paris was infested by crowds of well dressed
bullles who went about seeking to fasten
quarrels on peaceable people. The adventures
of one of these gentry is amusing S*&-F
He was in the habit of frequenting res
taurant, where he became a daily terror to
the non-dueling patrons, On certain occa-
sion he espied a worthy Bourgeois" gentle
man summing himself on the terrace, slipping
his mocha, which did not seem to suit him
The bully approached the table, and, with a
twirl of his bellicose moustache, said:
"You don't seem to be satisfied, sir9"
mo, monsieur, this mocha is not at all
good to-day" '.E e
The bully then executed his grand "tour de
force" by sticking the end Of his cane into the
gentleman's cup and vigorously stirring the
contents, while he assumed the ferocious air
OF one who was being insulted.
Perhaps it's better now" he remarked when
he had finished the maneuver
The 'bourgeois,' not little astonished,
'asIeo 1he improved mOcha ana politely re-
piled:
"Not a bad idea, monsieur; not bad idea!
How droll! It is really BETTER"
And deliberately repeating the operation
with his own cane he kept saying, as he took
little sips of the mixture:
"Not bad idea; It's ever so much better
decidedly improved. Thank you, monsieur;
thank YOU"
The mild hammered man had won. The
other guests laughed heartily at the discom-
fitted duelist, who skunk away, and thenceforth
left the habitues of that particular restaurant
to enjoy their meals in peace-Paris Cor.

Travelling Englishmen.

If another proof were wanted of the fact
that in spite of the depression of trade money
is still plentiful in this country, it might be
found in the circumstance that the number of
people who left England last year, not as
emigrants, but bound on extended pleasure
trips or in search of health, was larger than
it has ever been before since the invention of
steamships Leaving the shorter trips taken
to Gibraltar, Malta and other European
places quite out of the question, the total I
refer to included no less than 59,3s2 individ-
uals. This large number-which beats the
next highest, that of 1884, by 1,979-is partly
owing to the Colonial and Indian exhibition;
but at all events it is one for the croakers to

Indeed, not a year ago was assured by

it was not decade ago that read in one of

BRAINERD, May 14.-The rains of last

of the forest fires that have ragged in the
country north Of here for the past two
days, and it is now thought that the flames
can be gotten under control. The whole
ofltowns A and S0,beyond Whitleys' ranch,
and two townships northeast have been
swept over and almost everything de-
stroyed. The burned area is twelve to
fifteen miles square. The greatest damage
to settlers was about Horse Shoe lake,
where the property of Klerim, Ludwig,
Fisher, John Schmidt and other settlers
was totally destroyed. There was consid-
cradle good pine timber burned in this vi
cinity. Scarcely anything is left of the
ties, logs or timber for four miles south of
LeRentS. G. s. Garfield lost 200 cords of
wood and over 1000 ties. The ties cut and
banked last season belonging to E. c. Long
& Co., and those belonging to the Manitoba
road were nearly all destroyed. The Min
neapolis &Northwestern & Lumber company
lost some fine logs. 1t is impossible as yet
to give definite list of the losses. The
fire is still slowly burning and extending
in the direction of Deerwood station.
IN MICHIGAN.
IsHPEMING, May 14.-A breeze sprung
up at noon, tanning the fires into fury
again. In many places they were under
subsection, but to-day's stiff breeze will
start them up again as strong as ever.
South of Negaunee heavy fire is now
burning. Fires along the South Shore rail-
road are not as bad as yesterday, but in
the country between the Wisconsin line,
the South Shore and Northwestern rail-
roads, fierce fires are burning. Unless the
wind soon moderates, the fires will be
worse than before. The breeze is from the
south, and is strong.
MILWAUKEE, May 14.-A late special
from Antigo says W. Stacy & Co. lose
$4,000 by the fire at Birnamund; Nash,

Shawn's Lumber company loses a large
amount of ties, poles and posts, worth
$1,500; Robert Rake loses his house, store
